I suspect the football authorities wouldn't want to go down that route, but IMO it would be similar to the dispute between ourselves and the blunts - the charge was something like acting improperly and without duty of care to other clubs.

Are we all in agreement that the reason why Sp*rs are pushing the top 2 so hard this season is mainly due to the signing of Parker(alot of Sp*rs fans i know reckon he's been player of the season so far...).

So can someone please enlighten me again why we sold Parker to these c*nts for 5million??

We knew this sh*t was going on...but we still deal with w*nkers like these....Improve their team to challenge for the title while inturn wrecking our OS bid.

IF Tottenham Hotspur do move into the Olympic Stadium it won't be the first thing they've taken off the London 2012 organisers' hands following the appointment of Charlie Wijeratna as executive director with commercial responsibilities.

Wijeratna has been a member of the London 2012 executive management team since the start of the bid in 2003 and was responsible for all the commercial and legal aspects of London's bid for the Games and the establishment of LOCOG.

Subject to Cabinet approval, Haringey Council will invest £9 million towards new and improved public spaces, heritage work and environmental improvements in North Tottenham.

In addition, the Mayor of London has committed £18 million to the regeneration of North Tottenham, £6 million of which will be invested via the council in highways and parking improvements and a district-wide heating and power scheme. The rest of the Mayor’s investment will focus on public transport and infrastructure improvements.

Seems like Levy has wangled £27 million in Public funds indirectly towards the NPD.

Not only that but Boris has been talking about Crossrail 2 going to Seven Sisters and eventually up via Tottenham etc instead of the originally planned route via Hackney - Olympic Park North - Leyton and so up to Epping (the last part using Central Line route)

I mentioned this in the Govt changing mind thread.....

"They have put a spanner in our plans and they have also secured govt funding wrapped up as a boost to surroundings. It might only be £11m just now but I would imagine that they will end up getting 2 or 3 times that"

"They have put a spanner in our plans and they have also secured govt funding wrapped up as a boost to surroundings. It might only be £11m just now but I would imagine that they will end up getting 2 or 3 times that"

It is £27 million for items related to the Northumberland Development Project (with a total of £41 million going to the area of Tottenham overall). The below is from a recent press release jointly issued by THFC and Harringey. The detals are below, but essentially the £27 million covers all of the non stadium related aspects that the council wanted THFC to cover (highway improvements, station improvements, Controlled parking zone, etc). Additionally (and this isn't included in the below press release) the council are supporting THFC's revised plans to increase the number of residential units at the South end of the site from around 200 to around 280 along with creating up to 3 floors of retail space below these, as well as adding an extra floor on top of the Spermarket at the North end of the site. There are also further rumours that a slightly amended stadium plan will be submitted soon taking capacity up from 56,000 to 60,000.

Anyway the full press release is pasted in below for any that want to read it. This is courtesy of Tottenham's official website:

Joint statement – Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Haringey Council

Tottenham Hotspur FC and Haringey Council have today made a joint pledge to the major regeneration of North Tottenham.

Spurs has reconfirmed its intention to stay in the area which has been at the heart of its history for more than 130 years and the Club and Council will work together to rejuvenate the area – seeking to deliver an iconic, new Premier League stadium development and a host of local improvements.

Subject to Cabinet approval, Haringey Council will invest £9 million towards new and improved public spaces, heritage work and environmental improvements in North Tottenham.

In addition, the Mayor of London has committed £18 million to the regeneration of North Tottenham, £6 million of which will be invested via the council in highways and parking improvements and a district-wide heating and power scheme. The rest of the Mayor’s investment will focus on public transport and infrastructure improvements.

Spurs has committed to progressing the Northumberland Development Project (NDP), which would bring a state-of-the-art football stadium, new homes, shops and leisure facilities to Tottenham and represent an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds whilst also leveraging in further private sector monies.

Tottenham Hotspur Chairman, Daniel Levy, said: “As a major employer and business in the area we are delighted with this commitment from the Mayor and Haringey Council.

“We have long said we could only invest in the area if we could see our commitment supported by others and that there was a real need to maximise the regeneration benefits and lift the wider area.

“We therefore see this as a commitment from the public sector to the Tottenham area and one which strengthens our ability to deliver a new stadium scheme with the potential to kick-start the long-term regeneration of North Tottenham.”

Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober said: “We have said all along that we are eager to support Spurs in their efforts to stay in Tottenham. They’re a great club, with a great history in a great area which really wants them to stay.

“We are investing in the regeneration of Tottenham and supporting Spurs’ Northumberland Development Project because we know that together we can bring new employment opportunities to Tottenham, significantly improve the area and attract investment for a successful and sustainable future.”

As part of the Club and the Council’s commitment to work together, both parties have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding which sets out the intentions of each to support delivery of the Northumberland Development Project scheme and to promote wider area regeneration through the development of a ‘North Tottenham Regeneration Programme’.

Subject to consultation with local residents and businesses, this will focus on improving the quality of life of existing residents, attracting new residents and new facilities and encouraging the growth of local businesses to enable residents, businesses, investors and visitors to have confidence and pride in Tottenham.
